Ohioans mark inauguration in Wash. D.C.
A handful of Ohioans will be front and center for President Barack Obama's inauguration.  Toledo autoworker Kenyetta Jones is one of eight "citizen co-chairs" who've been selected to highlight Obama's first-term accomplishments.  Jones spoke at last year's Democratic National Convention about Obama's work to bailout the auto industry.  The Miami University Marching Band will be in the parade too.  And the former band director at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School wrote musical arrangements for the inauguration.  Ryan Nowlin is an arranger in the U.S. Marine Band. He created the score that the band will play at the swearing-in ceremony.

Republican Chairman proud of MLKJ memory
Visitors to the office of Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett over the years have been greeted by a somewhat ironic image.  It's a photograph of Bennett in October 1967 with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.  They were at Lancer's Steakhouse in Cleveland with a group of black business and political leaders.  King was there campaigning for Carl B. Stokes, who became the first big-city black mayor in the country. Bennett was campaign manager to Stokes' Republican opponent, Seth Taft.  Bennett says when King was assassinated less than six months later, their meeting sealed his belief in nonviolent political change.  The chairman says displaying the photo reminds him of the need for mutual respect in politics and continuing to strive for racial diversity in public office.

Fewer fatal fires in Ohio
The state fire marshal says fire-related deaths in Ohio dropped significantly last year, with one possible factor being the unusually mild winter.  The preliminary figure of 106 fatalities dropped by about 17 percent from 2011, which also saw a major drop from 2010.  Cuyahoga County led the state with 16 fire deaths, followed by Franklin and Lucas counties, each with six fatalities.  Fire Marshal Larry Flowers says the cause of the majority of fatal fires was undetermined. Smoking and cooking led the categories when the cause was known.  Flowers says mild temperatures through March last year may have played a role since heating sources can sometimes lead to an increase in fires in the coldest months.

State expands crime labs 
Law enforcement officers who have evidence to submit to the state's crime lab now have a new drop-off point in eastern Ohio.  Attorney General Mike DeWine says the state has opened a new regional office for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Cambridge.  The building also will accommodate agents investigating crimes in the area.  The office will be open every other Wednesday for evidence receiving, and agents will also provide onsite polygraph testing for investigators by appointment.  The Bureau of Criminal Investigation's headquarters is in London, Ohio. Other lab offices are in Richfield, Athens, Bowling Green, and Youngstown.  Improving the crime lab and the time it takes to process evidence has been a priority for DeWine since taking office in 2011.

Stun gun used in video prank
Police in Cleveland say two men posing as a TV news crew recorded a stun gun attack on a man outside a convenience store.  Officers say the men told them that they were shocking victims for fun and recording it.  The two men were arrested last week and have pleaded not guilty to assault. A 15-year-old who told police that he shocked the victim was turned over to children's services.  The Plain Dealer says the victim was a group home resident and that he was shocked in the neck.  The victim told police a similar attack had happened to another group home resident.  Officers arrested the two men and confiscated a digital video camera and a high-voltage stun gun.
